Ms. Collins' Sensational Second Grade

Friday, January 4, 2019

Happy New Year! We had a relaxing vacation and now we are all adjusting to being back in the swing of school! Today we are going to spend the day giving compliments, being kind, and filling our friends buckets!

We've started a new science unit on Balance and Motion! I've introduced the vocabulary words balance, stable, and counterweight. We've had so much fun trying to balance paper "crayfish" on our fingers and we've even started writing and illustrating our learning in our science journals. Check out some of our fun!
